Little Fish Coffee Poipu

Why Kai Loves It

**Little Fish Coffee Poipu** This sunny Poipu cafe is where locals and visitors line up for some of the island's best breakfast bowls and legit coffee. Tucked next to the Poipu Beach Athletic Club, Little Fish serves organic, fair-trade espresso roasted weekly in Waimea, plus a killer menu of fresh bowls and bagels that'll fuel your beach day. The star here is definitely the Poi Bowl – sweet poi topped with fresh papaya, pineapple, blueberries, house-made granola, coconut cream and coconut shavings. It's a uniquely Hawaiian twist you won't find everywhere. The Like it a Lox bagel is another solid choice with smoked salmon, cream cheese, tomato, onion, capers and lemon pepper on a toasted bagel. For something lighter, the Lawai Valley Cobb salad comes loaded with organic greens, turkey, bacon, blue cheese and house-made balsamic vinaigrette. The vibe is casual and quick-service – order at the counter, then grab a table under the umbrellas out back. Lines can get long (10-15 minutes), especially since they're only open 7:30am-1pm daily. Don't be surprised when chickens wander through 🤙 Perfect for: early risers wanting a healthy breakfast before hitting the beach or trails. **Insider tip:** Order online ahead and they'll text when it's ready – total game-changer for skipping the line. **My take:** The poi bowl alone makes this spot worth visiting. Fresh ingredients, creative menu, and that locally-roasted coffee? Yeah, this is my kind of breakfast stop.
